A considerable number of them were prepared for artillery and infantry transporting ammunition. But this was not all. Marquis Elken had a vision to transport a large amount of supplies to the Shenwei Fortress in advance, and even established multiple front-line arsenals after occupying the Loong Pass to maintain stable distribution of supplies.

The main force carried food and fodder for 500,000 people and 60,000 horses for 40 days. Behind this huge army, eleven reserve warehouses were established along the way. In order to carry these supplies, after occupying Suolong Pass, Elken retracted twenty engineer battalions from the country again, totaling more than 54,000 four-wheeled carriages and two-wheeled carriages of various purposes, as well as various types of ammunition supply trucks. Among them, 13,000 carriages were transported with the daily necessary food supply.

This huge logistics team used more than 200,000 horses, and the number of horses that continued to be recruited from China later was currently more than 300,000 horses alone. What we refer to here is to transport horses, not including war horses.

War is not as simple as saying it.

Recruiting supplies actually requires food from the pockets of civilians. Taking the Comosobi region in the southwest of the Kingdom of Plantain as an example, a city with a population of less than 20,000 was entrusted with up to 85,000 servings of daily rations (mainly wheat and potatoes, and a small amount of corn), 4,000 bushels of hay, more than 7,000 bags of (standard) oats, 5,000 bottles of wine of different quality, 200 trucks and many other items.

In Lather City, 9,000 local residents handed over 70,000 (calculated in days) bread, three hundred beef cattle, two thousand bottles of wine, one hundred thousand bales of hay and more than three hundred carriages.

The reason why these two cities are used as an example is that the area is relatively rich and is a famous grain-producing area in the Kingdom of Porcelain.

There are more than this—in a village called Sosenheer, five hundred villagers took over the full supply of eight thousand gorse warriors for up to five days.

Of course, not all parts of the country will reach this level of material requisition. This is largely a means for the king to weaken the local aristocracy. If there are too many people here, there will naturally be less. From this, it can be seen whether the king has given a certain aristocracy "special preferential treatment" and judging his likes and dislikes is also an important political vane.

Retreat is simple. Just one command or even one sentence.

According to normal practice, different levels of defense lines and positions must be established while advancing. However, from the north of the Loong Pass, there is no stable rear defense line along the way.

The muscles on Marquis Elken's face were twisted to the extreme. Without hesitation for a second, he put away his telescope, hurried down the stairs, accompanied by his adjutant and the guards, and left the watchtower.

Damn the Holy See!

Damn Somsen!

If it weren't for the Holy See... no, it should be the Holy Lord, who was born with a filthy woman, and the sacred maid with a beautiful aura, that would not have become what he is today.

The envoys of the Holy See began lobbying various countries since early on. Those skillful bastards gave examples to prove that the most powerful metal patron saint of the northern giants could not appear in a short period of time, and the Holy See successfully developed the most powerful weapon in history, and the Lock Dragon Pass City Wall could no longer become a natural danger to block the pace of the offensive.

To this end, the Holy See made a solemn promise to the five kingdoms——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Marquis Elken is a believer, but he is far less pious than Duke Calis. Of course, the Holy See has to give him the face, not to mention that the Holy See also made a "commitment promise" in an abnormal manner. This kind of thing was unimaginable in the past, and it also touched the hearts of Elken and the king.

Two hundred thousand people, this was the scale of troops agreed by the Marquis and the King at that time. Including Elken, no one of the nobles who knew the inside story of the Porcher Dynasty had thought of winning. At most, they would send troops to act like a good person, explain to the Holy See, and also said that they still had faith in the great Holy Lord and would never betray them.

The Kingdom of Porchy Flower has its own exclusive source of intelligence. Through information sources from all aspects, in the first half of the year before sending troops, Elken finally increased the scale of troops to 700,000.

In fact, he himself was a little worried. However, the purpose of this dispatch was not simple from the beginning. Whether in the Comosobi area or the city of Rather, it was the territory of the Marquis of Elken against the nobles. Weakening the opponent means strengthening himself, and he originally had this idea.

"No. 6"'s performance under Lock Dragon Pass was satisfactory and also gave Marquis Elken the confidence to win. Without any effort, he easily obtained a large amount of supplies at Lock Dragon Pass, making him full of longing for the future of the war.

Viscount Monio had the same idea, but he was at least more cautious than the Marquis, especially after occupying the empty Crazy Mane City, he felt a little worried and deliberately left behind 10,000 engineers to build defenses on the spot based on this giant city.

Ten thousand engineers are not short of them. Moreover, winter is about to end, and the ice on the ground is gradually thawing, and it is not as difficult to dig out as before. As long as the speed is increased, a follow-up defense line can be established at the specified time.

The changes in this plan were the logistics. For some reason, the domestic transportation team had not kept up. The cavalry sent information slowly, and Marquis Elken did not know until now that the Shenwei Fortress had been captured by the Dragon Clan Marine Corps. In order to transport the materials stored in the Dragon Lock Pass to the front line and ensure the offensive strength of the vanguard army, Elken first drew 5,000 engineers from Kuangmane City to join the transportation team.

Two days later, he drew the second batch again, and there were still five thousand people.

This approach seemed to be wrong at that time, because the main force of the Kingdom Alliance had already reached the north. Especially the main force of the Viking led by Duke Flamar, they kept attacking westward, and were said to have killed up to tens of thousands of giant cavalry units and found a giant city in that direction. Whether it was the slaves captured after the war or gold and silver, it meant that the Viking Kingdom would gain huge benefits.

Marquis Elken believes that Bishop Somsen did not lie or conceal the real situation. The combat effectiveness of "No. 6" is obvious to all. It has indeed killed the main force of the giants. The problem now is speed. It must catch up with those fleeing giants as soon as possible. Only in this way can we return home with honor and wealth.

With a transport team, there will naturally be no rear position.

It's too late to regret.

Marquis Elken is almost certain now—Virgin Monio’s vanguard army was either killed or captured by the northern giants.

With an unprecedented defeat, the entire vanguard army is most likely surrounded by giants. Otherwise, Viscount Monio would send a messenger to report to him no matter what.

Riding on horseback, with adjutants and guards, the small cavalry beside Elken galloped from the inside of the camp towards the south.

He did not escape directly, and doing so was extremely immoral and caused himself a lot of trouble. The Marquis continued to send messengers along the way to contact the commanders of various battalions. On the one hand, he informed the news, and on the other hand, he integrated and concentrated the troops on the spot.

The army is Elken's greatest source of confidence. Even if the vanguard troops are completely destroyed, the main force of the Prague Kingdom will be at least 500,000. Although it is not clear how many northern giants are attacking here, in the eyes of the Marquis, he has not yet reached the end of his life.

As early as last week, 100,000 Migail potion No. 44 was sent to the soldiers. Of course, the commander decided to decide when to use it. The soldiers taking the medicine did gain some time. Although the giant kept firing shells at the camp and people were constantly killed, the Marquis did not see too panic along the way. Overall, relatively stable order was still maintained.

It seems that I don’t have a chance. As long as I stick to it, I can…

Just as this thought came to his mind, Elken suddenly saw a messenger rushing towards him. The other party approached and tightened the reins tightly. The poor horse was forced to rise from the ground and neighed in pain.

"Sir, you can't leave in front." The messenger was busy controlling the horse, and shouted loudly in anger: "There are all giants there, and they blocked the road."

Marquis Elken felt a heavy blow in his brain again. The double attack of shock and fear almost made him so scared that he fell off the horse on the spot.

"When did this happen?" He roared in horror: "Where are our scouts? Why haven't they found the giant?"

"I don't know." The messenger used his strength to wipe off the sweat from his forehead. This problem was beyond his normal duty: "The entire camp was surrounded, and the south was full of giant cavalry. They... They rode a terrible monster and could eat people."

Marquis Elken's heart suddenly sank.

He knew very well that the situation had deteriorated and was no longer what he had thought before. It was obvious that he could no longer gather troops to retreat in an orderly manner. Once he was surrounded, the next problem was to be trapped. Although the camp was stocked with enough food and fodder to last for more than 40 days, he was just sitting in vain.

"Transfer my order, and all the soldiers in the southern camp gathered in this direction." He quickly made a decision, and his voice became extremely cold: "No matter what price you pay, you must rush out for me!"

...

The prison bull rode on the back of the velociraptor and aimed at a white man who rushed out of the south gate of the camp to pull the trigger. The bullet with huge kinetic energy penetrated the man's body, drilled into another man's chest with huge inertia, and then exploded, releasing fragments of flesh and blood.

According to Tianhao's order, the coalition forces of the three tribes sent 20,000 cavalry to carry dry food for three days, cross the mountains and forests, and walked from a small path to the back of the main camp of the Porcelain Kingdom, and launched an attack.

Ten thousand tiger cavalry are responsible for the left wing, and dragon cavalry are responsible for the right wing. Among them, two thousand dragon cavalry are led by Prisoners themselves. They rushed to the front and became the most conspicuous and terrifying existence in the eyes of both friendly and enemy troops.

Velociraptors who have been trapped and tamed for a long time have learned how to obey orders. The process from beasts to militarization is nothing more than food threats and daily training. These giant beasts with heights of more than eight meters have an amazing appetite, and they like it, whether they are fanged pigs or fish. As the price they have to pay to give up their free food offerings, they wear thick metal armor, carrying riders, and wantonly trampling among the dense and chaotic white fugitives.

Too many soldiers were trampled into meat paste. Including the prison cow, the dragon cavalry did not care about filling the rifle with ammunition. They could only remove the special long-handled sword from the weapon hanger on the dragon's back, hold it horizontally in their hands, allowing the velociraptors to run and jump unscrupulously in the crowd, and they could reap lives by relying solely on impact and inertial force.

Three days of supplies are not much, but it is only the part that the dragon cavalry eats. Of course, ordinary cavalry also needs to carry an additional part of the forage. In terms of material standards, the tiger tribe and the dragon cavalry are very different. The former carries far more hay and beans than dry food, because of the different understandings of food. The tiger tribe attaches importance to war horses, especially the tiger king Yaoxian, who believes that fighting with white people is a predation process. Whether raw or cooked, it can fill the hungry stomachs of the warriors.

The supply standards of the Dragon Clan cavalry are no different from those of the civilization era. Under the leadership and orders of Tianhao, the entire clan is gradually abandoning some old habits and refusing to eat food that does not meet moral standards. Although not everyone will obey the orders honestly, at least no one dares to do this on the surface.

No one dares to go against the will of the Regent.

The only interest of prisoners in white people is "feed". Velociraptors are natural predators, and they do not reject them, and even like to use white people as part of their daily feed. The result of this is to make huge space for carrying ammunition and other military supplies.

A white soldier raised his gun and aimed it, and accurately hit the velociraptor with flames and high temperature lead bullets. This kind of thing happened many times on the battlefield, which was not unusual at all. Even the musketeer with a bad shooting technique could easily hit the target. After all, it was an extremely mutated velociraptor as high as eight meters.

"clang!"

The metal impact was so crisp, and the thick alloy armor made the velociraptor have no weakness all over his body. The ferocious beast was angry. It rushed towards the guy who dared to hurt him, opened his bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, bit the white musketeer who had fired the gun and flew hard into the distance. Under the hazy sky, a figure quickly became smaller with a shrill scream and disappeared completely at the end of his sight.

Prison Niu did not participate in too many battles. He took several personal guards to wander outside the battlefield and issued orders from time to time according to the situation.

"Don't rush too hard, just shoot the target outside the camp."

"Twist the grenades and let them taste the taste of this thing."

"Be careful about the white costumes and give priority to shooting their officers."

These experiences come from Tianhao's teachings, who consciously cultivate future successors from now on.
